Bidding goodbye to Shawn, Hope headed to home. Fortunately she had now learned to always keep her wallet and phone on her. The hard way, that is.She had come to stand on the bus stand when her phone chimed with a message. It was from Shawn asking her to be ready by six o'clock in a sophisticated dress as he will be wearing a black tux.Tux? Fancy party it seemed.Sighing, she quickly typed down her address and sent it to Shawn in case she forgot to do so later. In the next five minutes the bus came and climbed in. It were three pm right now. She had three hours to get ready.*****After getting home and gobbling down the lunch she rushed to take a bath. She needed to shave her legs, do some girly thingies, and then choose a dress and matching shoes to go with. Once she was done showering she came out and started searching for the dress. It took her almost two hours in the bathrroom only. Hoping for a quick dressup, she found a pretty, spark

Hope woke up to the blinding light and white walls. Everything felt surreal to her. Was she even alive or was this heaven? Her eyes blinked a couple of times before managing to open fully. Everything around her was white and too shiny. There was a complete silence in her ears right before the loud chatter patter of people and things started to enter through her brain like a loud crash. Groaning, she slipped up the bed and tried to find someone. Well, good thing she figured out that this was not heaven that she was lying in, this was a freaking hospital. She had barely registered it through her head, trying to figure out how she ended up here and then remembering being at the party and things that happened with Varys when the door to her room opened and Varys walked in. He was still wearing the same clothes th

The hours passed by and then there were sounds of gunshots, loud yelling, and screams. Hope started shivering. She knew something was wrong, in fact, everything felt wrong in that moment. Her heart was in a panic. She could not dare lift up her head and look out from the window of the car. She wanted to go and find Varys, she could feel the panic throbbing inside her. But she did not want to get him in trouble, she did not want to become a liability and she did not know what the hell was going inside that house. All she knew was that there was some really scary shit going on inside the house and Varys and his family were in danger.Her hands fumbled to find her mobile phone and thankfully, after much struggle of trying to hold it in her fumbling fingers, she managed to dial 911.*****Before the Police came, the gunshots had stopped and the house had gotten covered in silence. Earlier there had been sounds of shouting, gro

Hope was awestruck.  The erratic beats of her heart increased even more. She did not know how she recognized him immediately, but she did. His face had changed a lot, matured with age and his body had strengthened with muscles. He stood taller than her, his eyes holding the same look that she was so used to seeing for herself. There was a ruthlessness in his gaze, but his eyes were gentle as they stared at her."V... Varys?" She breathed.

Hope stilled in her place. For years she had an empty space in her heart that made her believe she was not going to see Varys again. It had been so long since she had assumed he was dead, because the thought of him going through any sort of pain or torture was too cruel to imagine.As she felt his racing heartbeat against her back, she realized that he was not as unaffected by her presence as he had pretended to be.
